Amendment 16 to the fishery management plan for the shrimp fishery of the Gulf of Mexico, U.S. Waters : supplemental environmental impact statement, regulatory impact review, and regulatory flexibility act analysis Shrimp amendment 16 Adjustments to the annual catch limit and accountability measure for royal red shrimp

This SEIS is prepared pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act to assess the environmental impacts associated with a regulatory action. The SEIS analyzes the impacts of a reasonable range of alternatives intended to: 1) set the commercial annual catch limit for royal red shrimp and determine if the use of a commercial quota should continue, and 2) choose a commercial accountability measure for royal red shrimp. This SEIS is a supplement to the EIS for the Final Generic Annual Catch Limits/Accountability Measures Amendment for the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council's Red Drum, Reef Fish, Shrimp, Coral and Coral Reefs Fishery Management Plans.
